MAINTENANCE OF YOUR SCHWINN®

EXERCISE BIKE

Moving your Exercise Bike

To move the recumbent bike, carefully but securely

lift the rear end of the bike and slowly steer the bike

to the desired location (Fig A).

To move the upright bike, carefully but securely pull

the handlebars toward you while gently pushing the

front of the bike downward and slowly steer the bike

to the desired location (Fig B). Be gentle while mov-

ing the unit as any sharp impact directly or indirect-

ly to the computer can affect computer operation.

Leveling your Exercise Bike

Levelers are located on each side of the rear stabiliz-

er. Rotate the knob on the top of each stabilizer end

cap in the direction of the "+" to raise the leveler foot

and rotate the knob in the direction of the "–" to lower

the stabilizer foot. Check to make sure the bike is

level and stable before beginning to exercise. Repeat

the above as necessary.

Maintenance

Disconnect power supply before maintaining or

servicing the bike. Use a damp cloth to wipe your

bike and computer free of sweat. Inspect the bike

before each use. Replace all parts at the first sign

of wear or damage. Call your authorized Schwinn®

Fitness products distributor if you have any questions

on the proper use or maintenance of this equipment

or contact Nautilus Customer Service at 1-800-NAUTILUS (628-8458).

The safety level provided by the design of this equipment can only be maintained

when the equipment is regularly examined for damage and wear. Inoperable

components should be replaced immediately or the equipment be put out of use until

it is repaired. Only Nautilus-trained or Nautilus-authorized personnel should carry out,

extensions, readjustments, modifications, or repairs.

Daily: Before each use inspect for loose, broken, damaged or worn parts. Do not use

if found in this condition; repair or replace.

Weekly: Check for smooth seat slider, handlebar slider, and console tilt operation.

Wipe any dust, dirt, or grime from the surfaces. If needed, sparingly apply a thin coat-

ing of silicone lube to ease operation.

Monthly: Check pedals and crank arms and tighten as necessary. Check all bolts and

screws and tighten as necessary.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the finish on your bike and computer, never use a

petroleum-based solvent when cleaning. Avoid getting excessive moisture on the com-

puter.
